UN official meets with parents of fallen IDF soldier whose body is held by Hamas

A senior aide to Ban Ki-moon meets with the parents of Lt. Hadar Goldin, an IDF officer who fell during the 2014 war in Gaza and whose body is still being held by Hamas.

Simha and Lea Goldin raise the issue of the return of their son’s body, as well as that of fellow soldier Oron Shaul, who died in an attack on an APC that killed seven IDF troops.

Israel’s Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon accompanies the Goldins to the meeting with Edmund Mulet, the UN’s assistant secretary-general for Peacekeeping Operations.
